It seems like a long time ago (and it was) that I decided to challenge myself to run a half
marathon. I had casually run for most of my life but joined a running club in Indiana
when I moved there to work. The obvious choice was to return to Arizona and sign up to
run the new Rock n Roll Half in Phoenix in 2024 (great location for a winter run, after
all). Then came the Indy Mini, and before I knew it, I joined the Half 2 Run club and
completed 25 states. And if you do that, you might as well do ALL 50 states, right? So, I
will happily run in the Anchorage Run Fest and then…I have a few more continents to
run (Asia, South America and Antarctica (the latter most probably in my next life). I
would love to take photos with anyone else celebrating the same milestone, so look me
up if that’s you! Meanwhile, happy running to others doing the 2025 race.
